She looks forward to her continued service in the Shoreline community as the principal at Cascade.

“Rebbecah’s years of experience and work reflect a leader who fosters authentic collaboration and partnership with families, students, and staff,” said Superintendent Reyes. 

“Her ability to build positive relationships while leading and supporting the development of students is a wonderful match for the Cascade K-8 community.”
